The Caturbhuja Baba temple, as it is locally known, faces north. A
garbhagrha is square interally but
c\octagonal externally showing eight bhadras flanked by subhadras and
karnas and thus representing an
astasala. One of the eight bhadras is
cut off straight so as to form the entrance to the garbhagrha through the
antarala. Temple is heavily restored, it preserves most of the original
features due to sensible conservation. On account of these repairs major
portions of the sikhara and half of the jangha are practically reconstructed
using the available old material mixed with new ones. Rebuilt is about 5ft. 6
in. high, approached by a flight of steps. The jangha is fully covered with
floral scrolls and consists of eight bhadras
of which those on the cardinals are treated differently from the other.
The sikhara is exuberantly adorned with
jalaka of scrolls. It seems to had been of saptabhum. karna-amalakas four of
which are clearly discernible.
